Uh... People stopped getting outraged over NFTs because they rightly became devalued over time and people aren’t falling for the scam nearly as much because of all the information out there about how scummy they are.  Not because there’s some ~fresh new thing~ to be mad about.

I get it, dude. I am also a bitter, failed writer. 

20 years ago people like you were the type of person that would say at parties, “I don’t even own a television!” with the implication that they were superior and more cultured. I was bored by those people back then too.

Well, five of these questions are answered by “after the opening credits of Episode 1.” Honest mistake, easy to miss if you take an hour long coffee break once the opening title flashes.

Very little according to the podcast.  Most of the people didn’t know.

In the game, David’s group are straight-up hunter cannibals, at least the men of the group. Their hunting parties, like the one Joel and Ellie ran into, go out specifically looking for people to kill and eat to supplement their food supply. Hence, why they attacked without warning. In the game, David claims there are…

The second they didn’t stop what they were doing and immediately dress that deer...

Yeah dude, you aren’t an animator. I am though. This ai is rotoscoping. So not only is it stealing a style of art from somewhere, but it’s just drawing over top of existing footage to “make it it’s own”. If you did this for a college paper, you’d get flunked out of the class for copyright infringement.

I’m 41 years old and, in my nearly half a century of experience, I can think of a ton of things that were “sci-fi” when I was 16 that are still “sci-fi” today, no matter how hard you want to believe in the empty promises of the Elon Musks and other phony “visionnaires” of this world. For example: interstellar travel,…

Because it being legal doesn’t make it ethical. Like me wishing torture and death upon you.

Because art students learn about things like vanishing points and perspective and *why* certain works are the way they are. Again I’m gonna use the Roger Ebert quote about Battlefield Earth: “The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not…

And here's a retort: Neither situation is likely to budge. So does it really fucking *matter* if their complaint is focused on the tech or the capitalism? "Oh, I wanted to eat that church brick by brick but they tell me that's impossible. Guess I'll eat the concept of sadness instead."

Oh my God. If you’re going to parrot leftist rhetoric, at least try and understand it.

short-sighted, and reeks of people that refuse to adapt to the times

I like how people have watered down the meaning of “outrage” to the point that it’s now just used to describe anyone having any point of view whatsoever.

Less-labor intensive? The purpose isn’t to make art easier, it’s to steal their work altogether and push them away - which they are already doing. Making their labor obsolete is just another pro-corporate convenience.

Told you that these corporate/tech bro shills are trying to turn creative human labor obsolete through AI. There’s a reason they’re trying to criminalize artists in general - they’re forcing an ‘easy’ and ‘ethical’ narrative that benefits only them. For instance, they call artist “privileged” because they built their…

Less exciting than it sounds . Basically some arcade pcb boards(the interchangeable part that stores the game ,) , and in this case mostly Capcom designed ones (CPS-2 ) , had a chip that encrypted the data stored on the pcb . It was there to stop people copying data from boards to make bootlegs , or messing around…

Having them all in working order was a bit of a (forgivable) liberty. My initial reaction was why would they all be powered up when the mall’s power was restored? But I quickly realized that Riley had set things up beforehand — a point neatly made by Riley herself when talking about how she’d spent an hour breaking…

Dude, my NES still works. And I’ve had that for over 30 years.
